Experts say the best thing you can do is keep the bugs out of your home.

“Homeowners should make sure that for instance, windows have all screens and they’re well maintained. They don’t have gaps, they don’t have holes in them. Aren’t rotting. Doors should definitely have gaskets, top bottom sides to ensure it’s good and tightly sealed,” Chris Caire with D&A Exterminating said.

Experts say these pests live in yards so make sure your pets are OK.

The likelihood of being infected is low, but Ratard says it’s important to know what could be lurking around outside.

The CDC says if you do find a bug known for carrying the disease, do not touch it directly. Use gloves or plastic bag to place it in a plastic bag. Take a picture of the bug and contact the Department of Health.
